Artists on Aldermaston

Posted by bex — 2 December 2006 at 1:48am - Comments

One of the hundreds of citizens inspecting Aldermaston earlier this week was the artist Kurt Jackson. He’s best known for his paintings of the Cornish landscape, but it turns out he’s also a dab hand at sketching nuclear weapons facilities. In the rain. Under the scrutiny of nosy police officers.

Hundreds of citizen weapons inspectors have just spent this morning patrolling through the muddy fields of England. They came from all over the UK, converging on the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) facility at Aldermaston. They arrived from all directions, by bus, train, bicycle and on foot.

Alongside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), it was hailed as a major step towards nuclear disarmament.

At the time, the Labour government played a key role in pushing for the treaty and in urging other countries to support it.

Greenpeace investigation reveals PM's hypocrisy

Greenpeace today publishes proof that the UK government is constructing facilities to build a new nuclear bomb. The clandestine move breaks the international Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and undermines the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. It also breaks the Prime Minister's promise that the country would have a debate before a new generation of British nuclear weapons was developed.
